Shivering With Increased Heart Rate After Smoking Weed, Pressure In Nose, Tingling In Head. Side Effect ?

Hi, last year I was with friends i smoked weed for the 6th time maybe and after I went home I laid down to sleep and when the sun started to raise i felt that my soul is going out. I started shivering and hear rate started going real fast and i felt pain in my heart area something like someone wants to take it out real hard. It took about two minutes to come normal. After that I started feeling my heart all my body like my head, hands, and neck (pounding). Not only that, I also have this pressure in my nose on and off. And this tingling feeling in head. My life is missed up I need to get back. Please Im waiting for your advice. 24 male 5,5 140

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Smoking weed can have a lot of side effects and symptoms that are very variable from person to person. I believe that gradually taking yourself off of the substance if you cannot quit cold turkey would be an appropriate way to treat your substance dependence issues. I also believe that you may need to consult a psychiatrist or a local doctor who can help with the withdrawal symptoms.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
